Genes affected

TSC2 (HGNC:12363): (TSC complex subunit 2) This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein tuberin. Tuberin interacts with hamartin to form the TSC protein complex which functions in the control of cell growth. This TSC protein complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic cell growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.11943409).

This variant is denoted TSC2 c.3532C>G at the cDNA level, p.Gln1178Glu (Q1178E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Glutamic Acid (CAG>GAG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. TSC2 Gln1178Glu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamine and Glutamic Acid differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. TSC2 Gln1178Glu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (Gumbinger 2009). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether TSC2 Gln1178Glu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q1178E variant (also known as c.3532C>G), located in coding exon 29 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3532. The glutamine at codon 1178 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
